Illustrated  Editions  of  Children's  Books 
A  Selected  List 

When,  about  a  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago,  John  Newbery, 
the  London  bookseller,  began  publishing  his  miniature  volumes 
"of  instruction  and  amusement"  for  children,  he  made  a  con- 
scious attempt  to  appeal  to  them  through  form.  The  little  six- 
penny books  were  carefully  printed,  "embellished  with  cuts" 
and  bound  in  gaudy  Dutch  paper.  But  those  small  "flowery 
and  gilt"  volumes,  loved  as  they  were  by  the  children  of  those 
days,  are  a  far  cry  from  the  superbly  illustrated  books  which 
the  boys  and  girls  of  this  generation  may  possess.  Publishers 
now  vie  with  each  other  in  the  production  of  attractive  editions 
for  children,  and  the  best  modern  illustrators  do  not  disdain 
to  expend  their  wealth  of  talent  upon  fairy  tale  and  legend.  It 
seems  oftentimes  a  labor  of  love  for  them  thus  lavishly  to  adorn 
the  children's  favorite  tales. 

Bright  colors  and  simple  outline  pictures  are  especially  en- 
joyed by  the  younger  children.  If  the  color  is  clear  and  the 
drawing  good,  these  stimulate  the  sense  of  the  beautiful  and 
lead  to  an  appreciation  of  the  more  complex  decorative  styles 
and  of  subtler  harmonies  of  color. 

The  artistic  merit  of  a  book,  however,  does  not  consist  al- 
together in  the  character  of  the  illustrations.  The  choice  of 
type,  the  spacing,  the  margins,  the  arrangement  of  title-page, 
contents  and  headings,  may  all  contribute  to  produce  the  effect 
of  beauty  and  proportion.  Association  with  well-made  books 
ought  to  make  it  possible  for  children  to  enjoy  these  minor 
pleasures — "the  deep  breath  at  the  beauty  of  binding,  the  thrill 
of  the  fingers  as  they  press  responsive  paper,  the  gladness  of 
the  eye  in  margin  and  type  and  uncut  edge."  (Alice  Chadivick.) 

This  list  has  been  made  chiefly  with  the  object  of  providing 
for  grown  people  a  selection  of  beautiful  editions  of  children's 
classic  and  standard  stones;  but  other  illustrated  books  have 

311852 


been  included,  among  them  a  few  unbound  picture-books,  which 
are  not  catalogued.  The  latter  are  indicated  by  asterisks. 
No  attempt  has  been  made  at  completeness,  and  many  subjects, 
such  as  handicraft,  athletics,  electricity,  inventions,  interesting 
to  boys  and  girls,  are  not  represented.  Further  suggestions  for 
books  for  the  children's  book  shelves  may  be  found  in  a  list 
issued  by  the  Library  entitled  "Children's  books  for  Christmas 
gifts." 

The  selection  and  compilation  of  this  list  has  been  done  by 
Miss  Elva  Smith  of  the  Childrens  Department  of  the  Library.

Artistic  Picture-books 

"Summer  fading,  winter  comes — 
Frosty  mornings,   tingling  thumbs, 
Window   robins,   winter  rooks, 
And  the  picture  story-books. 

*  *  *  * 

All  the  pretty  things  put  by,

in  its  curious  cradle,  or  "komse."  Inside  are  pictures  showing  the  daily  life  and  occupa- 
tions of  the  family.  There  is  no  unnecessary  detail  and  the  color  scheme  is  simple  but 
harmonious.  Text  is  printed  in  Norwegian,  English  and  German  in  parallel  columns.

and  other  animals  and,  associated  with  them,  delightful  children.  Drawn  with  few  lines

and  style  are  especially  attractive  to  little  children.

palace  and  cathedral,  the  mysticism,  the  youthfulness  of  the  Middle  Ages,  to  young  peo- 
ple of  all  time.  .  .[and]  he  has  given  our  children  an  accurate  and  vivid  background  for 
their  whole  study  of  the  period,  in  the  dress  of  noble  and  soldier  and  peasant,  in  the 
banners  and  trappings  and  heraldic  devices  of  chivalry,  in  the  frowning  walls  and  quaint

Famous  toy  books  which  still  retain  their  position  among  the  most  delightful  books 
for  the  nursery  and  the  studio,  equally  beloved  by  babies  and  artists.  Walter  Crane 
makes  the  old  legends  vital.  He  is  the  true  artist  of  fairyland,  because  he  recognises 
its  practical  possibilities,  and  yet  does  not  lose  the  glamour  which  was  never,  on  sea  or 
land.  Condensed  from  White's  Children's  books  and  their  illustrators.

[The  illustrations  are]  "replete  with  tenderness,  half  amused,  and  yet  thoroughly  in 
sympathy  with  child  life.  Here  we  have  the  grave  little  doctor  visiting  the  indisposed 
doll,  while  the  little  mother,  gravely  resting  her  chin  on  the  headboard  of  the  bed,  awaits 
the  result  of  the  diagnosis.  Very  charming.  .  .are  the  glimpses  of  country  life — the  good 
old  peasant  grandmother,  the  children  gathering  fagots,  or  the  little  becapped  girl  who 
submits  with  a  mingling  of  terror  and  joy  to  the  amicable  caress  of  a  great  Newfound- 
land dog."  W '.  H.  Low,  in  Modern  French  masters.

like  the  island-valley  of  Avilion,  'deep-meadowed,  happy,  fair  with  orchard  lawns,'  a  land 
of  flowers  and  gardens,  of  red-brick  houses  with  dormer  windows,  peopled  with  charm- 
ing children  clad  in  long,  high-waisted  gowns,  muffs,  pelisses  and  sun-bonnets."  Har- 
die's  English  colored  books.

use  of  the  young  [illustrated  by  Boutet  de  Monvel].  Soc.  for  Promot- 
ing Christian  Knowledge,  6s. 

"This  edition  is  chosen  because  of  Monsieur  Boutet  de  Monvel's  charming  small  il- 
lustrations in  color.  There  are  from  two  to  eight  pictures  on  each  page,  accompanying 
the  text,  which  is  in  verse."  Arnold's  Mother's  list  of  books  for  children. 

"As  color  appeals  to  the  child  before  he  has  much  notion  of  form,  his  first  picture 
book  should  be  colored,  and  as  his  ideas  of  form  develop  slowly,  his  first  pictures  should 
be  in  outline,  and  unencumbered  with  detail.  The  French  illustrator,  Boutet  de  Monvel, 
has  given  us  the  ideal  pictures  for  young  children."  Field's  Fingerposts  to  children's 
reading.

penter, the  knife-grinder.  The  full-page  pictures  are  in  color. 

"The  verses.  .  .have  touches, of  vivacity  and  humour  such  as  children  delight  in. "I

This  book  has  delightful  pictures  of  these  "little 'people,"  of  well-known  characters

of  natural,  human  children.  No  text.

"Quite  out  of  the  common  in  external  beauty — the  pictures  are  truly  admirable — and 
in  the  verses,  which  have  a  rare  breeding  and  distinction,  and  are  at  the  same  time  per- 
vaded by  a  delightful  humor."  Nation,  /ooj. 

"If  you  could  see  our  Mother  play 

On  the  floor, 
You'd  never  think  she  was  as  old 

As  twenty-four.

Told  with  the  particularity  of  detail  always  fascinating  to  children,  and  with  a  clever- 
ness of  drawing  and  composition  equally  delighting  the  critic,  the  children  see  farm  life 
on  its  joyous  side,  with  almost  the  vividness  of  actual  participation  in  its  work  and  play."

The  pictures  "are  strictly  Oriental  in  tone. .  .Persia  has  suggested  most  of  the  dress 
and  the  architecture,  with  here  and  there  a  touch  of  Cairo  or  Damascus. .  .The  scenery 
belongs  to  fairyland  or  Mr.  Rackham's  land.  But  the  triumph  of  the  art  lies  in  its 
suggestion  of  marvel,  of  magic,  in  every  line.  The  only  criticism ...  is  that  there  is  too 
much  striving  after  the  grotesque. .  .This  curious  atmosphere  of  magic,  never  more  bril- 
liantly suggested  than  in  these  delightful  drawings,  enters  especially  into  the  scenes  in 
the  story  of  the  King  of  the  Ebony  Isles;  the  Rip  van  Winkle  rocks,  the  strange  gnarled 
and  lightning-riven  trees... and  the  haunted  look  in  the  Queen's  eyes  are  marvellously 
convincing."  Athenaum,  1908.

baby  who  lives  on  the  Birds'  island  in  the  Serpentine  and  goes  to  and  fro  between  the

costumes  of  the  i8th  century,  the  period  when  the  fairy  tales  he  illustrates  were  at  the

and  delicacy  of  color  are  unrivaled.  Their  art  will,  however,  be  most  fully  appreciated 
by  the  older  children  and  the  grown  people.

Text  is  set  in  large  type  and  is  followed  by  49  full-page  pictures  done  in  varying 
tones  of  brown  and  mounted  on  green  mat.  Another  plate  is  used  for  frontispiece, 
making  50  in  all.  Title-page  vignette  and  decorated  cover  in  green  and  gold. 

"The  wealth  of  invention,  the  perfection  of  the  drawing,  the  combined  beauty  and 
grotesqueness,  all  unite  to  make  the  pictures  ...  true  works  of  art.  It  does  not  matter 
whether  the  artist  draws  the  steep  tiled  roofs  and  white  walls  of  the  houses  with  their 
background  of  mountain,  the  ragged  children  climbing  still  more  ragged  trees,  or  the 
weird  inhabitants  of  the  Catskill  Mountains.  With  all  Mr.  Rackham  seems  equally  at 
home."  Spectator,  1906.

helper  in  the  pencil  of  Mr.  Remington,  whose  pictures  are  as  full  of  truth  as  of  spirit,

The  story  of  Heidi,  who  lived  on  a  Swiss  Alp  with  her  old  grandfather,  is  very 
popular  and  is  deservedly  accounted  one  of  the  children's  classics.  Mountain  life  in 
summer  and  winter  is  admirably  pictured,  there  is  a  refreshing  out-of-door  atmosphere 
and  the  characters,  Peter  the  goat  boy,  the  blind  grandmother,  the  little  invalid  girl  from 
the  city  and  Heidi  herself,  are  all  delightful.  The  sweet  sincerity  and  simplicity  with 
which  the  story  is  told  adds  to  its  charm.  This  edition  is  well  printed  and  the  mountain 
scene  of  the  cover,  the  title-page  design,  the  black  and  white  text  drawings  and  the  col-
